The world's largest retailer on Wednesday is launching the "Roommate Style Match" group on Facebook, a social-networking site that has millions of college-age users, in the hopes of grabbing a larger chunk of back-to-school shopping dollars. Facebook users who join the Wal-Mart group will be able to take a quiz to determine their decorating style and get a list of "recommended products" they can buy at Wal-Mart to mesh their style with their roommate's. Students can also download a shopping list of dorm room items sold at Wal-Mart, link to Wal-Mart's Web site promoting "earth-friendly" products, or click on Soundcheck, Wal-Mart's Web site showing musical performances by singers like Bon Jovi and Mandy Moore.http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-6201620.html
